Taste & Tale blends local flavors, history and legends into a relaxed walk through Bucharest’s Old Town. Before becoming a licensed guide, I spent nearly a decade as the owner & chef of Beca’s Kitchen, a beloved local bistro in Bucharest. Today, I combine my passion for storytelling, good food, and genuine human connection to create experiences rooted in local culture. As we walk through the Old Town and nearby historic areas, Bucharest becomes a lens through which the story of an entire country is revealed: from medieval roots and royal ambition to communism and today’s revival. Freshly baked pastry, lovingly reinterpreted Romanian dishes, and a carefully chosen sweet experience blend naturally with stories of roots, memory, and a new generation of chefs reinventing local flavors while keeping their soul. Along the way, we discover 15+ iconic landmarks and enjoy 6 tastings across 3 carefully selected food stops. Come curious, leave inspired.

Wow! I had no idea…

This was an OUTSTANDING experience! I was a solo traveler and the whole group was super friendly towards me and 4 other solo travelers in our group of 13. It’s wonderful to get driven to each spot and learn some context for each site before you arrive. Plus I had NO IDEA how beautiful Bulgaria is!!! Luciano is a WONDERFUL guide! He presents life in a unique viewpoint. The more you talk with him, the more he opens up! And our driver was excellent too! 5 Star!

Transylvania and Dracula Castle Full Day Tour from Bucharest

Terry_R, Oct 2026

Transylvania Dracula Castle

Our tour to see Peles Castle, Bran Castle and the Brasov Historical Center was very special, enlightening and informative. Our guide, Santiago, was very helpful, thorough, thoughtful, kind and informative. He was very knowledgeable throughout the tour pointing out the important sights as we traveled out of Bucharest and into the countryside on our long adventure. Our driver, Romeo, was very good keeping us safe throughout the journey which was very much appreciated. The stops were very interesting and our favorite ones were Brasov and the Bran Castle. The meeting place was convenient for getting an Uber, etc. The one thing which can be improved is the comfort of the seats in the van especially for such a long voyage. They are worse than the worst coach seats on an airplane! That would be our only complaint. Thank you

Dracula's Castle, Peles Castle and Brasov Day Trip from Bucharest

Camille_D, Oct 2026

Must do tour!! Buy castle tix now and pack snacks!

We had Otilia and she was the best and funniest guide we have ever had! She was incredibly knowledgeable and really made us aware of the history of the Romanian people and the castles. I feel like because of how thorough and funny she was the content really stuck and it allowed us to really appreciate the sites so much more. It is a very long day! So definitely recommend you bring snacks for the bus. And pro-tip you cannot buy tickets of the castles on site. We did that an really enjoyed it! But others on the bus did not and were sad they missed the castles. This was a fantastic tour and if you come to Romania you will miss out if you don’t see and hear all of these wonderful things!

Small-Group Day Trip to Dracula's Castle, Brasov and Peles Castle

V_K, Sept 2026

A great day trip!

Important to check emails and advice on booking entrance tickets. Tour agency did a great job with this but not all read emails. Time management is also important as it is not easy to see all 3 sites in one day. Having a passenger who was late to every meet up was a real hassle. Overall a great day with our driver Claudio and Romeo
